LG 34UC80-B 34-Inch 21:9 Curved UltraWide QHD IPS Monitor with USB Quick Charge

Ive had this monitor for about three days. Ill update if anything goes wrong with it. As for now, Ill highlight the best qualities. The picture is stunning. Beats 1080P by a long shot. Coming from an Omen 25, this is a serious, serious upgrade in terms of quality of materials and picture. I cant stress how crisp and beautiful this monitor is right out of the box. The menu is very easy to navigate. If you want to fully adjust your picture, youre mostly limited to preset modes, but the standard mode is really all youll need. You can adjust brightness and contrast accordingly. The curve isnt too strong. Thats good. Some smaller curved monitors can give you a headache and make you feel like youre surrounded. I wasnt a fan and actually returned a Samsung 27" curved for that very reason. On a 34" ultra-wide, a curve is almost necessary. Flat ultra-wides make me feel like the ends of the monitor are too far away. A gentle curve fixes that. If youre worried about the curve giving you a migraine, like it did me, dont worry. Its very well done. Material quality is exceptional. The stand is easy to put together and the monitor clicks in seamlessly. The height and tilt adjustment is smooth. Update: I am experiencing a small amount of dimming near the top of the monitor. Very faint. It feels/looks like a defect in the manufacturing process, maybe with just this particular monitor. The upper edge of the monitor doesnt feel fully attached. Im returning this one and getting a replacement from Amazon. Ill update as I get it. Second update: I have received a replacement monitor. Amazon support was amazing, as always. The dimming is less than it was on my returned monitor on the top...however: Last update: The dimming is very noticeable once you open programs that showcase white backgrounds. Its very sad. Both of these monitors have this issue, the replacement one wasnt as bad on the top, but was very bad in corners. I know that this is a "limitation" of the technology, but this was well outside acceptable ranges. Im going to be trying a different brand.

Install Flash Player Aside from the fact that this is an ultrawide monitor... there’s not much else here. The price is far too steep for what it provides. You can get a 27inch 4K Monitor from LG with HDR for $300-$400 which is significantly better than this and the scaling on that will allow you to fit more things. Yes, the curved screen is neat and this is nice if you are fine with 1440p but the price is far too high for what it is. I know some 1440p monitors work and get recognized as a 4K display for the Xbox One X and this is not one of them. Stay away if you want to do any console gaming. It’s also worth noting that the colors aren’t great for the price either, nor is the brightness. The black gloss on the item is also horrendous. Mine in particular was completely scratched up but that has nothing to do with my rating.
